(Business in Cameroon) - The first heads of the Chinese mining association were formally introduced on August 30, 2014 in Yaoundé in the margins of the introductory ceremony for the new members of the China-Cameroon Chamber of Commerce.

This association of Chinese mining companies not only aims to defend Chinese interests in Cameroon, but also to inform its members about mining regulations in effect in the country.

The Cameroonian government has accused foreign mining companies of disregarding applicable laws, particularly by destroying the environment and operating illegal mining fields.

Last March, during a site visit, Margueritte Ndeh, the Departmental Mining Delegate for Lom et Djerem, in the East, found five Chinese mining companies in breach of the law. These were Gipo Mining, Ging Ma SA, D’or de lion, Danshang Ming and Fuhaï Ming, which were immediately compelled to conform to mining laws in place.
